Ipsut Creek Campground to Suspension Bridge

[RentonDad]

Will be camping here soon with kids.

 

I would like to know if anyone can tell me the distance (one way) to the suspension bridge and the relative elevation gain?

 

I can't find this information on any of the NPS.GOV based .PDF documents or web pages.

 

I have read information that this is a hike easily doable by young kids but we will have our two year old with us and will bring our baby backpack if necessary.

Assuming my memory serves correctly, the distance is 2.9 miles and the elevation gain is approximately 1,000.'

Very good. Thank you. I've got a couple of NPS produced park maps and had been all over the nps.gov/mora web site but must have passed completely over this.

 

I love this website. You folks have been a great help. I hope to be able to return the favor.

Trail update from 5/25 shows no snowcover from Ipsut to the Carbon bridge.

With the exception of a few remnant patches, the snow doesn't begin until about a mile past Dick Creek, just before Moraine Park.
